Magpies Nest
A delightfully informal restaurant set in a restored 1860s stone stable overlooking the Murrumbidgee River flats and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. The fare is regional with a hint of Tuscany, and my, it's good.

La Tavola

La Scala
Hidden down steps and behind a couple of old brown doors, this huge cellar, covered in murals, is one of Griffith's institutions. There's nothing modern about the menu either; expect old-school recipes and house white for $5 a glass. Brilliant.
